In order to counter the colonialist narratives, representation of black/women in sf, the MA thesis discusses a distinctive science fiction genre titled Africanfuturism that enables African writers to take ownership of themselves, the past, present and future, and their imaginaries so as to establish relations with the rest of the world. The thesis discusses Binti: The Complete Trilogy (2015-2018) by award-winning Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor through the lens of Africanfuturism, the theoretical term Okorafor coined herself in 2019. The thesis discusses the topics Afro- and Africanfuturism in the wider field of science fiction, African/black spaces, gender, race, postcolonialism, habitus, social and physical space, ritual and cultural practices, science and spirituality, and post- and transhumanism. Provided analysis shows that the Trilogy does not only enable the reader to enjoy the expected futuristic framework but also to learn about cultural practices of a given African space. Moreover, the Trilogy makes it clear that the experience of Okorafor’s protagonist Binti does draw on (West) African and not African-American experience, which testifies to Okorafor’s insistence on Africanfuturism as a working term for African and African diasporic writers whose main focus is on African experience. It becomes apparent that Afrofuturism (due to its insistence on Afro-American experience) and mainstream science fiction (due to its exoticized representation of African space) cannot adequately map diverse futuristic spaces of (West) Africa.
